Inflation hit the Richie Rich comic hard, it seems.

The pig's doing his best to pretend this isn't happening, it's not happening, this is not happening

I would also like to note that stacks of money make for an unstable stairs. But there's a lesson here: why is Richie saving coins when he obviously has bills in abundance?

He has bills in abundance precisely because he saves coins, my child.

Aw he just got it all from his dad anyway he ain't savin' nothing

Let not your cynicism cloud the importance of the lesson.
